Description This Midori MD notebook is B6 Slim size, measures 4.1 x 6.9 inches and features 176 pages of lined soft ivory Midori paper. The binding is sewn for durability and lays flat when open. These are perfect for use with everything from pencils and ballpoints to brushes and fountain pens. The ruled lines format provides a bold centerline so that the upper and lower pages can be used separately. Split a single page into two or a double page into four to arrange your notebook how you like, for writing memos, keeping a diary, or inserting dates for use as an appointment book. MD Notebooks are created using traditional thread-stitched book-binding methods, with 16 pages of paper folded into a bundle and stitched down the spine. This book-binding method ensures that the notebook opens evenly and is highly durable. The book-binding method is usually applied in items that are used for a long time, such as pocketbooks and diaries. Midori adopted this method to achieve ultimate writing comfort, ensuring that the notebook opens fully 180 degrees. For each type of notebook, Midori has added a different color bookmark string: red for blank, blue for ruled lines, black for grid, and white for cotton. The bookmark string can be seen at the top of the spine, providing a further design feature when your notebook is placed on a shelf. The colored string, peeking out from the pure white spine cover, adds a modest accent. Midori stationery products are made in Japan.
